Got this Griswold #9 Dutch Oven and even though the bottom says Cast Iron, I've never seen one with a finish like this. The inside is smooth with some staining, same as the bottom and the side's are kind of rough and silver. Along the rim of the dutch oven its polished and you see you reflection in it.
No signs of rust and seems to be extremely clean. Not sure if the outside is maybe painted and if i should strip it and start from scratch or maybe it just isn't seasoned (but if thats the case why no rust).
Sorry if some of these are basic questions, I've only recently started getting old cast iron after falling in love in cooking on modern day Lodge stuff.
